Pasta Dinners
Weeknight pasta, from one pot pastas to baked pasta and classic sauces.
Pasta is the fastest way to get a filling dinner on the table, and this page collects weeknight favorites: creamy one pot pastas, baked pasta for a crowd, a quick carbonara and simple tomato sauces made from pantry staples.
Each recipe names the pasta shape it uses. When the pasta finishes cooking in the sauce, boil it a minute less than the package says, and save a cup of the cooking water to loosen the sauce.
Spaghetti Carbonara in 30 Minutes
Classic spaghetti carbonara with crisp pancetta, black pepper and a creamy egg-and-Pecorino sauce. It has no cream, needs 5 main ingredients and takes 30 minutes.
One Pot Pasta with Ground Beef in 45 Minutes
Spaghetti simmered directly in a beefy tomato sauce with carrots, red pepper and mushrooms. One pot, no colander, and dinner for 6 in 45 minutes.
